Failed my AM2 on IR test.
Just a query do you have to remove both the nuetral and the cpc fly lead from RCBO when doing a global test? I did this but I did not put the cpc from the ring final in to the MET bar. I tested the ring circuit, motor and strappers separately. That’s the only thing I didn’t do. Would this be a fail?

my understanding of the fly leads on rcbos is that the fly lead should be removed prior to a IR test unless the manufacturers paperwork that come with them say its okay to do with it connected. Having said that I have oftne tested with it connected with no noticeable impact. In a exam though its by the book. Some of the newer rcbos no longer have the fly lead.

Yeah, I removed the fly leads completely. I just missed putting the cpc from the disconnected ring final from the RCBO. Like I say the only thing I can think I didn’t do. Silly thing to miss and fail on. Get it the next time
